Scenario Analysis:
Here’s who advances in each of the 9 possible outcomes of this morning’s 2 matches:
|
USA win |
USA draw |
USA loss |
ENG win |
USA & ENG |
ENG & SVN |
ENG & SVN |
ENG draw |
USA & SVN |
SVN & ? |
SVN & ENG |
ENG loss |
USA & SVN |
SVN & USA |
SVN & ALG |
(?: if both games end as draws, both USA & ENG will finish with 3 points. The tiebreaker is total GF, so USA has the advantage, having scored 3 so far to ENG’s 1. It’s possible but unlikely that ENG could advance in this scenario–if they & SVN play to a high-scoring draw, e.g. 3-3, while USA plays to a low-scoring draw, e.g. 0-0.)
